Abstract
We derive probability distributions for two models for polymers constrained to a plane, both of which consider closed loops which enclose a fixed area. In the first model the monomers interact with each other with a quadratic interaction ; in the second model the loops are also constrained to have a fixed winding number around the origin of the planeKeywords
